Question Why do I hear white noise through my speakers only when mic plugged in?

I also noticed that this makes recordings and possibly video chats have a noticeable white noise as well.

When looking at the settings while my mic is plugged in, sometimes it'll show my mic making noise when it is turned off.

Do you have any lights plugged into the same circuit? The transformers on fluorescent and led lights can sometimes introduce noise

I have lights in my computer. I also had two led lights on the same surge protector but unplugging them didn't change anything. When I record the static is really loud.
